    Or I suppose you could be some kind of crazy person who switches it up per game.

    I assume you three-monitor people use the middle one, but I'd be interested to hear if that's the case?

    The side doesn't matter to me. I have one screen in front and one to the side. The one in front is straight ahead just like a setup with only one monitor. My second monitor is some Dell 1280x1024 monitor from 2004 or something. It fits stuff like Mumble, Spotify, or documentation for something I might be working on.

      When not playing on it, it's usually a browser window. When playing on it, I use it for 120hz, cuz my physical monitor/TV is only 60hz.

        Yes.

        (I have 3 identical 1440p monitors.)

        Although if I decided I wanted to play a racing or flight sim game, I might try to set it up to use all three (total 7680x1440). I'd also consider playing something like a FPS or strategy game on all three screens turned 90 degrees (total 4320x2560), but the last time I tried doing that was a long time ago (back then I had 1080p screens) and I don't think I ever managed to get the configuration to work because most games aren't designed to span across monitors.

          I use my two monitors in this configuration. (Not my image)

          It's fantastic for reading documentation and manga.

              Yeah, I use Virtual Desktop, there are other options, but from my experience, there really isn't... hehe.

                Bought three monitors so I don't have to think about this (also the side ones are portrait)

                    One game client on each ... or what is the point of playing with 2 monitors?

                        When I used to have two monitors, it was never right and left; it was always center and side.
